moments
Group Planner
We’ve all experienced them.
Those fleeting moments that seem to pass us by in the course of life’s busy
pace… These are the moments you feel fully alive. When mind, body and
spirit are at their best. When every distraction seems to step aside, leaving
you energized, happy and ready for anything.
There’s a place where this feeling isn’t so much fleeting as it is fixture.
Welcome to Indiana’s Kosciusko County. Where rejuvenating moments
happen on a daily basis. Here, amidst a unique tapestry of vast outdoor
activities mixed with quiet escapes, you’ll find a beautiful collection of
communities, parks, museums, spas, shopping and more, all geared toward
helping you feel at your best.
So why not take the time? The time to escape everyday stress while reclaiming
health and happiness. The time to look for newfound joy in everyday places. The
time to treat your family to some good, healthy fun.
Why not take a little time out in Indiana’s Kosciusko County to live well in
the moment?
